Dj MIA, Strawberry, CA
Member Since January 2008
Artist Statement With the beauty of a model, moves of a dancer, an ear for music, and a personality that captures hearts, Mia Guzman was built to be a performer. In the beginning it was the music that gave her energy. Now it’s her control over the music that helps create the energy she passes along to her audience.
Mia’s first move from the crowd to behind the tables was initiated by DJ XTC (Kube 93 FM Seattle). He noticed her as one of the regulars in the clubs he would spin at and they soon became the type of close friends that shared all their free time talking about Hip Hop, music and dj-ing. He took the time to teach her the basic skills of crowd rocking: mixing & blending, song selection and dj personality. As luck would have it her beauty took the limelight and she soon found herself modeling in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles everything moved quickly. Her modeling career got a quick jumpstart through her appearances magazines. That produced a popularity that got her a contract for a national import car show circuit. She was introduced to Dj Vice (Power 106 FM/ Skam Artist DJ) and appeared in his promo video. She was starting to get the itch for the turntables again. Soon after that Mia found herself on set with the Black Eyed Peas for the “Don’t Phunk With My Heart” video. She met DJ Rocky Rock (2005 DMC World, Apl. D. Ap DJ) on the set. They started talking about dj-ing and she was hooked for good this time. After the first MTV Wild'n Out ended she bought her first set of Technics and it became her obsession.
Mia debuted herself through a 1 hour set at a local club. She was a complete success and quickly became the talk of the evening. She’s expanded her selections to tap into the crowds love for 80s, rock, reggae, reggaeton, R&B, hip hop, dance and house. Most recently she wrapped up a season of MTVs Celebrity Rap Superstar and is contracted with clothing line Tokidoki—both modeling and performing. She makes regular appearances in cities across the nation and is currently planning a 2008 tour of Asia.
